Rare Stanley / Bailey No. 9½ Block Plane — Type 1
Early & Hard to Find • Original Patent‑Date Cutter (Short) • Clean Early Example
A scarce and desirable Type 1 Stanley / Bailey No. 9½ Block Plane, one of the earliest versions of Stanley’s most iconic block plane. Type 1 examples are genuinely hard to find, and this one retains its original cutter with Bailey’s patent dates—though the iron is short, it remains an important and correct early feature.
The mouth shows a tiny amount of roughness, common on planes of this age, but nothing that affects function. Overall, this is a clean, honest early example of a very tough‑to‑find type
